NEAR Snap Brings Non-EVM Features to MetaMask for the First Time

NEAR Protocol has become the first non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchain to integrate fully with MetaMask. This lets MetaMask users use the NEAR ecosystem seamlessly.

The NEAR Snap, a new feature from HERE Wallet and the Banyan Collective, lets you create NEAR accounts and sign transactions right from MetaMask. This integration makes NEAR Protocol a leader in Web3 interoperability, giving an enhanced Web3 experience and unlocking new venues for developers and users.

NEAR Mainnet has become the first non-EVM chain to be fully compatible with @MetaMask, the leading Ethereum wallet provider.

MetaMask Snap: Expanding Blockchain Accessibility

The MetaMask Snap ecosystem, introduced recently, allows for the integration of various non-EVM chains, including NEAR, Solana, Cosmos, and others. NEAR Snap lets MetaMask users use NEAR Protocols native features for the first time, bridging the gap between EVM and non-EVM chains.

Before, Aurora, NEARs EVM-compatible blockchain, was the only way to interact with MetaMask. Now, NEAR Snap expands this functionality, allowing more decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain interactions directly through MetaMask.

Unlocking New Opportunities for Developers

NEAR Snap‘s development aligns with NEAR Protocol’s vision of helping more dApp integration. Using the NEAR Wallet Selector, developers can integrate their applications with NEAR Snap.

Future versions will have even more functionality, including BOS components, which will give web-wallet-like experiences. These innovations aim to give users and developers a streamlined ecosystem, making NEAR Protocol a leader in Web3 accessibility.
